    It was a wholemeal tortilla wrap with avocado, a little bit of Hellman's mayo - if you go to the right supermarket you can find it here, and I'm prepared to do the leg work to track it down! - a couple of slices of ham, a couple of cheese slices, some cucumber and some mixed salad. I put it in the sandwich toaster at work and it was very yummy.

    That sounds absolutely delicious! Think I might add that one to the list of things to try!!
    2019 will be my year!!

    I've got some food with me today, so a good start to this week, have to make up for last week as it was just 2/6 last week, I found out about the challenge on Saturday but wanted to include last week as I need to make up for the money I've allready spent.

  • Hi all

    This is my first day back at work after New Year and I took in some leftover home made curry. I'm fully stocked up and organised for the week and I'm aiming for 5 lunches out of 5 for the week. :D

    Fingers crossed I can be good because it will save a fortune and be far kinder on my figure:D

    This bring-your-own-lunch thing is helping me out with much more than I imagined:
    - I don't go into town on my lunch break and buy toiletries and other things I 'need'
    - I'm saving the calories by not eating hot roast pork sandwiches every few days
    - I'm working shorter lunches and building up flexi-time.

    Perfect all round really! Woo!

    Managed day one of the working week. Got a free sandwich at work so saved todays ingredients for tomorrow (bit funny but I take bread and filling seperately and make sandwich at work).
    Food bought for lunches for entire week so fingers crossed should not have any problems.
